Race-hate yobs have been blasted by the community after branding refugees heading to Paisley "terrorists."

A bitter online row erupted as the region prepares to take in families fleeing ISIS and civil war in Syria.

Today we exclusively expose the bigots, who have shamed the town with vile xenophobic and sectarian online rants.

Mums, dads, a security guard, a business owner and a college student are among the trolls.

Steven Richardson, a former employee of Renfrewshire Council, which is providing housing for those arriving, told how he wished their plane “nose dived into the Clyde”.

Former Reid Kerr student Rebecca Borthwick took to Facebook to declare: “f**k the refugees.”

Police have warned they will take a zero-tolerance approach to those breaking hate crime laws.

A police spokesman said: “Hate crime is not acceptable and we would urge anyone who is subjected to such a crime to contact police. “

It comes as 100 refugees touched down at Glasgow Airport before being re-homed around the country.

Renfrewshire Council has committed to take in 50 of those escaping camps in the Middle East.

Steven Richardson earned the condemnation of the majority of locals by wishing death upon those arriving at Glasgow Airport after fleeing war.

He said: “The pilot should have took a nose dive in the Clyde with the lot of them, this place will erupt soon.”

His Facebook comment received 10 ‘likes’.

Most have extended a warm welcome to the refugees arriving from camps after being driven from their homes by death cult ISIS.

Clothing, toiletries and food donations have been collected to help traumatised children and scarred pensioners settle in to a life of safety.

But, as Paisley prepares to launch its bid for UK City of Culture in 2021, a minority of residents have used the online platform to share sickening expletive-laden tirades against terrified war casualties.

Right-winger Rebecca Borthwick took a break from taking revealing selfies on her Facebook page to demand the frightened families “f**k off back to the deserts”.

“You won’t be saying that when they start killing, bombing and taking over your local area.

“Women and children? Are you blind?

“The majority getting off the f*****g plane are men.”

West College Scotland beauty therapy student Simone Porterfield is another whose inhumane outburts rubbish the long-held British tradition of proving sanctuary to those facing the horrors of conflict.

She said: “I will not be welcoming them here.

“I don’t care if I get hate.

“My mama is proud of her daughter not wanting these filthy refugees in this country.”

Those arriving will be given housing, legal protection, access to employment, education and expert medical care as part of the vulnerable persons resettlement scheme (VPR).

After five years they can apply to remain in the UK.

Barrhead’s Natalie Pollock has urged the council to “send them home” and says the families are only here to claim benefits.

She added: “They probably came her to get our NHS and schools free and then fly back home.

“All these people saying let them in, why don’t you let them stay with you then?

“If they go home and got murdered or raped, that’s not really our fault.”

Fears over the 50 refugees diverting resources away from the town’s almost 80,000 inhabitants have been echoed by Jackie Carter.

She claimed: “If they’re not planning on blowing us up, they will be getting all the benefits.

“They’ll get first shout on houses and be treated like kings and queens, while the British homeless stay on the streets and struggle.

“The best thing that can happen to the lot of them is to be sent back home.

“There’s nothing here for them.”

Former Merksworth High School pupil Gordon Magee even advocated separating families, splitting up parents from frightened children.

He said: “If we need to let some in, just the kids and only the kids.

“F**k the rest, they have no respect for your way of life, so don’t come here.

“Dirty b******s.”

Tradesman Richard Walker, who works for SSJ Scaffolding, says it “won’t be long before they start taking over” – despite the new refugees making up only 0.06 per cent of the population of Paisley.

And Primark security guard Willie Allan simply stated: “They’re moving in to Renfrewshire, get them to f**k.”

Young people led the fight-back against the abuse, with older voices comparing the atrocities to those in Germany during the Second World War.

Both groups were shouted down, despite Paisley’s proud history of welcoming victims of conflict, including those fleeing Nazi persecution and escaping genocide in Africa, Kosovo and Eastern Europe.

A 46-year-old man, who asked not to be named, due to fear of reprisals, was so upset by the barrage of animosity, he was moved to tears.

He said: “These people make me ashamed to be from Scotland.

“This kind of language is disgusting and is completely deplorable.

“These people do not want to leave their homes and we need to open our arms to them.

“These bigots are uneducated and ignorant, every single one of them should be ashamed.”

Another young human rights campaigner told how he showed the bigotry to his elderly grandmother, who compared the fascist language to the hatred shown to Jews during WWII.

He wrote: “I showed my gran some of these comments.

“She asked me: ‘When did Paisley become Nazi Germany?’

“‘Your grandfather fought against people with such hatred and radical views and would be turning in his grave seeing the country he fought for turning in to the country he fought against.’”

Around 12 million Syrians – almost three times the population of Scotland – have fled their homes because of conflict. Half are children.

They were forced to leave after civil war erupted between rebels and forces loyal to president Bashar al-Assad in 2011.

Their plight became even more desperate with the rise of ISIS, which is butchering the population and has committed terrorist atrocities around the globe, including the Parisian attacks, which claimed 129 lives on Friday.

The fighting has driven four million from the country as refugees, with most settling in neighbouring Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan.

Children affected by the attacks are at risk of becoming ill, malnourished, abused, or exploited, with most forced to quit school.

The UK Government has pledged to re-home 20,000 refugees by 2020 – with 1,000 due to arrive before Christmas – and 2,000 settling in Scotland.
